Excellent cast. everyone embodies their character very well. It's definitely the best version version there could be: the tempi,the staging, the atmosphere ....They have really found the right balance that this opera requires.
I've seen a lot of versions of MOF and this brings out the comedy the best. And the ending is appropriately transcendent. One can quibble about this and that but this production is just so entertaining. A tremendous success and worth adding to any collection.
Thanks reah1. I'll try to figure out how to post some of my favorites here (Riconosci..., Act-II finale, Dove Sono). The Gardiner version deserves more attention on YouTube.
Thanks for posting. I love Gilfry as Conte. His arrogance in 'Hai già vinta la causa! / Vedrò mentre io sospiro' is totally convincing. You'd totally hate the guy if he wouldn't sing so well on such a magnificent melody.
It's a little unfair to the FANTASTIC character tenor in this piece to not give him credit in your comment.

His lighter sounding "porvino" makes me giggle every time, too.

I don't have to know exactly what they're talking to about to find the humor in it. I think the scene is hysterical and very well performed.

A great staging, since then I've been disappointed by all others here on yt. All's perfect: singing, conducting, staging, acting, casting...
And it's real comedy, just as it's intended.

I like this version, but there is something which disturb me: the accent of Suzanna and Basilio for exemple Poverîno, perfîdia

I'm Italian and I think that the accent is very beautiful and almost perfect...
